Outlook Express 6 and removing attachments when replying

How do I tell people how to remove an attachment when replying to me in OE 6. Since I already have the attachment I do not need to have it sent back to me in a reply....thanks...

I have OE 6 but not this behavior
Jun 11, 2005 10:05AM PDT

When I reply to a message that has an attachment the attachment isn't included. I looked for a setting that causes that but haven't found it so far.

However, when I FORWARD a message the attachment stays there UNLESS I right click on it and select REMOVE.
